Digitize the monitoring of construction projects by connecting and enhancing Building Information Models with real-time on-site progress and activity data, analyzed with AI technology (BoB). University of Antwerp
Technology and building blocks for wide bandgap based power converters KU Leuven
Continous evolution in the powerelectronics domain enables smaller, more efficient and reliable powermanagement systems. To continue this evolution alternatives for the current silicon (Si) based power transistors have to be found. Promising alternatives are found in the wide bandgap (WBG) materials, with galliumnitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) as most well known, mature, variants. Their use leads to smaller and more efficient, and ...

Metropolises in the Mud Innovation in Delta Building Technology in Europe and China in the pre-Industrial Age KU Leuven
Deltas are among the most urbanised and wealthiest regions of the world. Today, their very existence is threatened by climate change. Innovative solutions are urgently needed, and delta cities around the globe have joined forces to confront the climate crisis. The dependence on innovation for their survival is however not a recent phenomenon but has a longer history. Surprisingly, little is known about the specialised skills and knowledge ...
The Role of Free Trade Agreements in building a Resilient Normative Framework for International Technology Transfer KU Leuven
In order to enable citizens to benefit from technological advances and to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, it is essential to overcome the technological divide between countries. Technology transfer (TT) is the cornerstone of this project and is a standard component in trade and environmental agreements. Yet, no consensus exists as to how TT should be defined, which obligations are comprised in TT and what the role of intellectual ...

Building climate neutral: towards an optimized building process KU Leuven
The construction industry and built environment have a significant share of the burden on the climate. Currently, the main focus is on avoiding CO2 emissions to put a halt to further warming of our planet. However, the impact of the built environment goes beyond this. Drinking water is becoming scarcer and the replenishment of groundwater cannot be taken for granted either. In addition, the rapid depletion of all kinds of raw materials is ...
The Linked Building Data (LBD) server platform: Semantic building data in support of code compliance checking and data subset selection Ghent University
This research project aims at building a community-based global digital network of building data, based on international standards and state of the art technologies (semantic data modelling, web technologies, data mining), and a local IT-platform that manages and allows to consume this information in support of key use cases in the built environment: code compliance checking and subset selection (queries).
